Need to Map Tenant Domain with CNAME of Tenant in this Module
When a new user registers his/her account on SAAS Module, a subdomain will be created.
This subdomain consist your username and root domain name of SAAS module. But the user/tenant want to map his real domain with the subdomain as it is an efficient way to access website from customers end.
For example: A SAAS Module is running on domain “cloudkul.ga” .
A new tenant came and registers with a username bagisto, hence his store name will be “bagisto.cloudkul.ga“.
But what he wants is the mapping of his domain name “bagotest.tk” to his subdomain of SAAS module “bagisto.cloudkul.ga“.

Steps to Map Tenant Domain with CNAME in SAAS Module:
Step-1: Login to your DNS Management Console
You first need to login inside you DNS Management console and open your domain. Here, we are using GoDaddy in our use case:
Step-2: Add DNS Record
After logging in , you need to map an A record of your domain with the server IP of SAAS module.
Here the IP of our SAAS module server is 206.189.131.29 . To map our domain (bagotest.tk) with SAAS Module server IP, the DNS entry should be like this in image below .
Step-3: Configure CNAME inside SAAS Module
After mapping the domain with IP, the last task remains is to configure the domain name inside the saas module.
For this, you have to login in super admin of SAAS module where you can enter your tenant actual domain name inside CNAME block. The entry should be like this in the image below:
(i) You can see a tenant already registered having subdomain “bagisto.cloudkul.ga” .
(ii) Map original domain “bagotest.tk” of tenant with subdomain “bagisto.cloudkul.ga” created in the SAAS Module.
For this, click on the pencil symbol and add the domain name inside Cname block and click on Update Details button.
Step-4: Test the Site
Check in browser if the updated domain name is working or not.
As we can see the site is working on original domain of tenant, hence we have successfully mapped the tenant original domain with his SAAS module subdomain name (CNAME) .
